Rune Divination ~ Wunjo, Algiz, and Sowilo comprise today’s rune divination where we draw Spirit into our interactions with others to foster fellowship and harmony. Algiz represents the elk and protection from Spirit, an almost solitary expression while Wunjo implies fellowship and harmony with others. Both energies are brought together with Sowilo, the rune of the will that invokes Higher Self awareness into our perceptions and behavior. In fact, when seeing Sowilo as an as above so below rune, Algiz sits on the top half while Wunjo can be incorporated at the bottom half of the rune which would then form the very nice bindrune pictured below.

Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold

• 1st (will/power) – low impact – with the expression of will in such a lesser state today, creativity or inspiration will likely be reduced
• 2nd (love/wisdom) – strong impact – unconditional love, compassion, and understanding are easily offered to others
• 3rd (active intelligence) – low to medium impact – adaptability to new ideas may be challenging and may need reinforcement
• 4th (harmony through conflict) – medium impact – signals that cause and effect may be understood today
• 5th (concrete knowledge and science) – medium impact – suggests that scientific knowledge is having an general impact on our mindset and decisions
• 6th (devotion/idealism) – medium to strong impact – The 6th Ray of devotion and idealism is a tricky influence in that if the 2nd Ray is less, we typically see an increase in gullibility and a single-minded approach. In other words, too much ideology or too much devotion affects our ability to view our experiences or beliefs in a realistic manner. Although the 6th Ray remains stable today, its strength is still impacting perceptions in a troubling way. The love and wisdom found in the 2nd Ray may have its hands full until this subsides.
• 7th (ceremonial order/magick)- medium impact – organization and general order may still be affected by a lack of flexibility which may decrease effectiveness
